“	John Whittaker: You see Connie, you believe that deep down everyone is good and if we all just somehow tap into that inner goodness we can make the world a whole lot nicer. Well I'm sorry, but that's just not the case. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That's why I just shake my head and laugh when I hear someone make a promise to be a better person. That's like treating the symptoms and ignoring the disease. Connie Kendall: But you can't just sit back and do nothing! I mean, doesn't the Bible say the Lord helps those who helps themselves? John Whittaker: No, it doesn't. Besides, I'm not talking about doing nothing, I'm just saying that the cause of the problems runs a lot deeper than a simple promise can reach, no matter how good your intentions are. Connie Kendall: So I was right when I said it was hopeless. John Whittaker: No, there's hope, lots of it. You're just putting it in the wrong place. You've got to look deep down on the inside, way down into your soul. That's where the changing has to start. That's why the Bible says "Don't be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." What that means is we have to let God renew our mind. He's got to change us on the inside before results start showing on the outside.	”

No matter how we explain it, without the spirit of God in our hearts, we can't grasp the purpose of suffering, or even appreciate the comfort God gives us when we suffer. All we can feel is the pain.
